Opposition to independence has gained support, according to the first poll published since the referendum agreement was signed by the Prime Minister and the First Minister.
The Ipsos Mori poll of 1,003 Scots showed support for the union at 58% and support for independence at 30% among those certain to vote in the referendum.
